validatiestatussen

Validatiestatussen is a term used in information systems to describe the set of states that represent the outcome of validation checks performed on data items, records, processes, or transactions. It functions as a concise signal of data quality and process integrity within automation, reporting, and governance layers.

Origin: The term blends Dutch components validatie (validation) and status, with statussen forming the plural. In some contexts it is used as an umbrella label for multiple per-item status values across validation stages.

Common statuses include: valid, invalid, pending, in_review, skipped, error, warning, not_applicable, and uncertain. Systems may combine statuses for multi-rule validations; for example a record can be valid for core rules but invalid for business-specific checks.

Data model and metadata: A typical validation status record includes: an item identifier, a status value, a timestamp, the validating rule or service, and optional justification or comments. History tracking is common to support audit trails.

Usage and governance: Validatiestatussen enable automated routing (e.g., block submission for invalid data), user interface indicators, and quality reporting. They support data lineage, exception handling, and regulatory compliance when applicable.

Challenges: Inconsistent naming, multilingual contexts, or asynchronous checks can create fragmentation. Best practices include defining a canonical set of statuses, using enumerations, recording source and timestamp, and retaining history for traceability.
